Bobby Ferrell was the recipient of the Carnegie Medal. CARNEGIE HERO FUND COMMISSION awards medals to those who risk their lives to an extraordinary degree for saving or attempting to save the lives of others.
Northern Burlington High School decided to take Ferrell’s No. 53 football jersey out of circulation out of respect for his mourning family. No other player wore his number on the field since the fire. Bobby Ferrell would have graduated in June, the Class of 2011. That is when the school decided to put his football jersey back in the rotation. Please sign this petition to keep Bobby Ferrell's Football Jersey Permanently retired at Northern Burlington County Regional junior Senior High School. Please help us to honor Bobby Ferrell.

Give the kid the respect he earned. Hero.
I cant believe they even thought about putting it back in rotation. His memory means more than a jersey number.
Such a brave kid. Total disgrace they would put that jersey back out there like he was just any other player. Keep it retired.
TRAGIC LOSS. Leave the number retired so we never forget what a selfless young man he was.
No. 53 should stay off the field forever. Simple as that.
